thanks

Once again, I missed this important bug report, probably drowned in a sea of noise :/

I spent a few hours yesterday trying to debug this and I have not been able to find what change triggered the bug, but it seems to be caused by operations made by some tests (which change the global state of the module) affecting other tests run later in the test suite.

There were no code changes since trixie release, and I can build the package cleanly when using a trixie chroot. Downgrading Node did not seem to fix the issue, so I suspect there must have been a change in some dependency, although neither Grunt nor nodeunit seem to have changed since either.

In any case, it seems that if I manually clear the module cache between tests the problem goes away, so I will upload a new version with this (very ugly) patch.
